A

Slope of the line

B

Product of slope on the line and charge on the electron

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`K_(max) = hv - hv_(0) rArr eV_(0) = hv - hv_(0) rArr V_(0) = (h)/( e) v - (hv_(0))/( e)`
Comparing this equation with `y = mx + c` , we get slope `m = (h)/( e) rArr h = m xx e`.
